How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Swerford
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include end-of-year club parties and christmas customer days, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy.
Near Swerford, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can you come to our office Christmas party?
